The Road To a Friend's House

The road to a friend's house is never too long 
And never too winding before you arrive; 
It's never too bumpy for a happy song 
And never too rocky to walk on or drive.  
The road to a friend's house is never out of the way 
And never too high and never too low; 
It's never an inconvenience night or day 
And never too rough to go fast or slow.  
The road to a friend's house is never too wide 
And never too narrow for you to get by; 
It's never too dusty to enjoy the ride 
And never too wet or muddy to try.  
The road to a friend's house is never less traveled 
And never not looked forward to; 
It's never looked over, whether unpaved, ungraveled, 
And never too crowded for me and you.  
The road to a friend's house is never a chore 
And never different from the distance to yours; 
It's never a burden and never a bore; 
It's a never-ending welcome into their doors.
